    # FAQ Source Material A collection of potentially useful questions, feedback, and answers from https://gov.yearn.finance/ https://t.me/yearnfinance and https://discord.gg/2mrHKUC to support writing a comprehensive FAQ. TBC this is not suggested copy to use in a FAQ but collected source material and notes to inform writing a FAQ <br> ## FAQ Source Material (new 2020-08-13) ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/yip-34-add-synthetix-snx-to-yvaults/2149/19 > Where can I find document which describes how SNX yVault deal with escrowed SNX? As you know newly minted SNX will get escrowed for 1 year. <br> ## FAQ Source Material ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/time-to-get-our-shit-together/173/8 > YFInfinity 21d > Its not clear how the system works, or all the components. Nothing is actually documented. > > Andre turned over YFI minting to the community but the rest is still controlled by 0x2D407dDb06311396fE14D4b49da5F0471447d45C, it would be nice to know what he does and what the dao will do. --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/please-make-recoverable-way-for-people-who-mistransffered/2286 - FAQ should have something on recovery options - what contract addresses have recovery options - what are the only ways to depost funds --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/our-defensibility/2263 - had trouble with making a poll on the forum --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/interested-in-building-an-app-to-calculate-the-vault-apys/2236 > Huge yearn fan and I want to help out. I’m a dev and interested in building an app to calculate APY for the vaults. > > Ive had a really hard time seeing what the daily, weekly, and yearly apy is for vaults. Maybe there’s an easy way to see the apy already and I haven’t found it, but I’m not aware. > > How would I go about calculating apy for a vault? What would the equation be and where would I pull the data from the smart contract? > > I’m familiar with eth development, just need some slight nudges in a direction. > --- > This doesn’t make sense though. How can two strategies utilizing mStable be producing different results? > --- > USDC pool is not fully utilised currently (67%). No idea why. I guess the Mstable protocol is short on TUSD and has too much USDC currently. > > But I thought the muSDC pool was also utilizing the balancer liquidity mining pool of mStable. > > BTW: Does the APY number of the yvault include curve trading fees? Or just YFII mining + ycurve interest returns? --- > Does anyone know who made this and is the code open source? > > Happy to start a new os project so it’s more transparent. > > Anyone want to join? > > @milkyklim > All contracts are available on etherscan UI is located at github.com/iearn-finance --- > Also seems odd that aLINK APY (65%) is double the LINK APY (29%). If this was the case wouldn’t the first part of the strategy be to deposit the LINK in Aave? What am I missing? > > It costs over $20 to deposit LINK in Aave to get aLINK at the moment so it would be good to get an idea if this is worth doing or if depositing LINK is more cost effective. > > @milkyklim it's intentional to not provide APY for non-tested experimental parts of the project --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/lets-take-yfi-to-china/1410/10 > I would like to help do the translation and build some social media channels. But maybe we can have a more detailed plan to make sure we can do it for long term? Can we create a work group on telegram first? > milkyklim reply > If you want to keep language-specific talks organized, feel free to join discord language channels: > > Here you go: https://discord.gg/7whTVkU --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/voting-staking-and-fees/2307 > Two questions. I voted twice, but my button to claim rewards is still grayed out.

The proposed gas fees are high, I mean astronomically so. Like, above $500. --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/ydao-for-community-funding/2243/10 > So then the team decides who gets paid and how much?

The distribution was supposed to happen on Wednesday according to FAQ, but it’s Thursday now > reply by zirs3d > For the distribution of rewards, Balancer has been using a service (smart contract) to send out to a pre-defined list of BAL rewards received by each BPT staked. --- > This is a good question. Do we know how much BAL was distributed to the contract? > reply by besmitten > both are 98/2 pool, i believe the BAL rewards is very small. The BAL rewards to the BPT staked contracts of this 2 pools, we can vote it to send to Andre as an appreciation from the community? > @milkyklim > these are lost https://etherscan.io/address/0x033e52f513f9b98e129381c6708f9faa2dee5db5#code > these can be seized https://etherscan.io/address/0x3a22df48d84957f907e67f4313e3d43179040d6e#code --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/yip-allocate-andre-a-portion-of-current-protocol-earnings/2203/5 > How long until Delphi/Gauntlet complete their analysis? > --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/yearn-swags-show-your-pride-and-grab-a-hoodie/2103/10 - where does the money for swag go? - can anyone make swag? - is the yearn brand open for anyone to use? - is yearn copywritten? - what are the rules for using the yearn brand - where can I get the logo and design assets? --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/yip-33-add-link-to-yvaults/847/19 > Honestly this is disturbing that you do this after the official account has tweeted and some have voted on-chain > > what about my BPT that is locked? > > nearly 60k BPT already for and no one against. > - who has control over the YIPs and can they be changed? --- ### https://gov.yearn.finance/t/should-the-minting-multi-sig-be-responsible-for-managing-vault-strategies/2207 - who is in control of strategies?

What is it really doing? > Step 1. Use liquidity as collateral. LINK is deposited into Aave and activated to be used as collateral. > Step 2. Borrow stable coins (technically step 2.5 is collateral management to ensure the vault remains safe, we will explain that lower down). The current highest yielding strategy is the USDC yVaults. So we borrow USDC. > Step 3. Put the USDC to work. The USDC is deposited into yVault, which has been averaging above ~20% APY. > Step 4. Any USDC earned above the debt is sold for LINK and returned to the vault. Increasing yield in LINK (or aLINK specifically). <!-- **OBSOLETE** - How do I claim YFI tokens from the Balancer YFI / Dai pool? > Go to https://ygov.finance/staking and choose balancer pool --> - Does yearn work on mobile browser? Can’t seem to connect to any wallet. > Yes, you have to use MetaMask browser <br> # FAQ - Yearn Ecosystem - - Products - - [yearn.finance](https://yearn.finance/) - Profit switching lender to optimize lending yields (live) - [ytrade.finance](https://ytrade.finance/) - Leveraged stable coin trades (testnet) - [yliquidate.finance](https://yliquidate.finance/) - 0 capital automated liquidations for Aave (testnet) - [yswap.exchange](https://yswap.exchange/) - Single sided automated market maker (live) - [yborrow.finance](https://yborrow.finance/) - Credit delegation vaults for smart contract to smart contract lending (testnet) - Governance - - Communication - [Forum](https://gov.yearn.finance/) - A lot of real-time discussion happens on the telegram and discord, but for a proposal to turn into a YIP (Yearn Improvement Proposal) it needs to be posted and disccused on the fourm. - This is the main place token holders check for goverance related issues. - [Discord](https://discord.gg/94CmMdt) - non-English channels are here - [Telegram - Main Chat](https://t.me/yearnfinance) - [Telegram - Trading/Social/Fork Chat](https://t.me/yearncommunity) - Twitter - [yearn.finance - Offical Twitter of Yearn](https://twitter.com/iearnfinance?s=20) - [Andre Cronje - Lead Developer of Yearn](https://twitter.com/AndreCronjeTech?s=20) - All about YIPs - What is a YIP? Why do they matter? - A YIP or Yearn Improvement Proposal is how features are added to the yearn ecosystem. Users start a proposal on the forum, discuss it, and gauge the sentiment of if the proposal will be accepted. If a lot of users agree with it, then it can be posted on-chain for everyone to vote on. - How many people need to vote to pass a YIP proposed on-chain? - The quroum is 20% which means that 20% of the staked YFI needs to vote on a proposal for it to pass or it will fail, as well as at least 50% of the votes for yes. - You can post your proposal on-chain first, but if people haven't talked about it, they probably won't vote for it. - How do I make a proposal? - The default template for proposals can be found on [Github](https://github.com/iearn-finance/YIPS/blob/master/yip-X.md) + on the [forum](https://gov.yearn.finance/) if you make a post under proposals or discussion it will autofill in the template as well. - Who can make a proposal? - Anyone can post a proposal both on the forum and on-chain. - Voting - How do I vote? - Stake your YFI and then you can cast your vote for YIPs that are on-chain on the [voting dashboard](https://ygov.finance/vote) - Where can I view the YIPs? - You can view them on the [voting dashboard](https://ygov.finance/vote) if you login to your web3 account or at [yips.yearn.finance](https://yips.yearn.finance/all-yip) - Why should I stake? What is the APY (Annual Percentage Yield)? - You should stake if you want to vote on YIPs and get rewards that are generated from the yearn ecosystem. The APY for staking is currently not listed on the UI. You can ask on the chat what the rate is. - Does staking my YFI matter for voting? - Yes. You have to stake your YFI at [ygov.finance/stake](https://ygov.finance/stake) in the v2 tab under Governance V2 to have your votes count. As of now, you can vote without staking, but you will waste your gas and it won't count so make sure you have staked first if you want to vote. - What if I want to take my YFI out before the end of the vote lock? - You can't, sorry. The lock lasts 3 days after you last voted until then you cannot unstake your tokens. - I voted and I know the vote lock is 3 days, is there anywhere I can see exactly how long I have left till I can unstake my YFI? - Yes! You can read the contract directly [ygov.finance staking contract](https://etherscan.io/address/0xBa37B002AbaFDd8E89a1995dA52740bbC013D992#readContract) go to 28 votelock and input your eth address. This will give you the eth block number when you can unstake. - What’s the difference between voting for a poll on the forum and an on-chain vote? - A poll just gagues the sentiment of what the community is feeling on the proposal while a on-chain vote will be binding and will take effect if it passes. - How long is my YFI tied up if I stake it? - Your YFI is locked for 3 days after you vote - How can I tell when my YFI is unlocked? - You can check - Why can't I claim my staking rewards! To claim your staking rewards you have to 1) be staked and 2) have voted within 3 days to be able to claim them. This will be fixed in an update soon. - [yDAO](https://gov.yearn.finance/t/ydao-for-community-funding/2243) (Yearn's Decentralized Autonomous Organization) - What is its purpose? - Used to fund value-added contributions to the yearn ecosystem. - Who cares, how do I make money from this? - You dont. This is solely for allocating funding for projects, and the yfi donated will be spent and your share value will be diluted. - Who can join? - Open for anyone to join with a base rate of 1 Share = 0.1 YFI - How can I join? - Go here to [pokemol](https://pokemol.com/dao/0xcb46298767fb5d44c18313976c30d3eeb5071862) sign in with your web3 account.

Please copy the link to your proposal and let us know you’d like to join in the [yDAO Telegram channel](https://t.me/joinchat/Qn1GPBv0y7lY1vAmRCB7KA) - How can I request funding - The same ways as joining except instead of click member click the funding tab and fill in the details of your request. You can ask in the [telegram chat](https://t.me/joinchat/Qn1GPBv0y7lY1vAmRCB7KA) if you have any questions. - I dont speak English, when will everything be translated? - We are working on translating to other lanuages but it will take time. For now you can go to your language in the global section in [Discord](https://discord.gg/94CmMdt). - Yearn.Finance - - Yearn.Finance consists of the Earn, Zaps, APR, and Vaults sections - [Earn](https://yearn.finance/earn) - Yield aggregator for lending platforms that rebalances for highest yield during contract interaction. - Deposit DAI, USDC, USDT, TUSD, or sUSD and it will auto lend to the highest lending rate on these platforms Coumpound, Dxdy, or Aave (Ddex and Fulcrum currently disabled) - Info on this can be found in the [Yearn Docs](https://docs.yearn.finance/yearn.finance/yearn) - [Zaps](https://yearn.finance/zap) - What is a Zap? - Zaps were made by DefiZap which is now [Zapper.fi](https://zapper.fi) as a type of all in one defi routing service. - Why use a Zap? - "Zaps allow you get into a DeFi position in one transaction—it’s called zapping in." - [How to use Zaps guide](https://defitutorials.substack.com/p/how-to-use-defizap) - Note that this is an old article and [Zapper](https://zapper.fi) was formed as a result of DeFiSnap + DeFiZap coming together to create the ultimate hub for Decentralized Finance aka #DeFi. So some of the stuff in the article above is out of date, but you can still use Zaps on Zapper.fi - So what can I do with Zaps on yearn? - With as zap you can take your DAI, for example, and get yCurve with it in one transaction. Normally, to turn DAI in to yCRV, you would have to go to earn, deposit DAI and recieve yDAI, then go to [Curve.fi - Yearn pool](https://www.curve.fi/iearn/deposit) and deposit your yDAI and then you would get yCRV. This is alot to do so instead you can do it in one transaction! - That sounds awesome, what's the downside? - Well, it does take a lot of gas and could be costly, even more so than doing it yourself manually, but if you have a big transaction and are in a rush it is a great method to get into a DeFi position or liquidity pool fast. - [Vaults](https://yearn.finance/vaults) - What is a Vault? How is it different from Earn? - A Vault takes a more active approach than simply lending out coins for the highest APY, via strategies it can farm coins such as CRV and then sell them into the best DEX to higher profits than simple lending. - Andre expains vaults here [Yearn Finance v2](https://medium.com/iearn/yearn-finance-v2-af2c6a6a3613) and here [Delegated Vaults Explained](https://medium.com/iearn/delegated-vaults-explained-fa81f1c3fce2) in these two blog posts. - Simply put vaults do this - Provide liquidity can be any asset. - Use liquidity as collateral - Manage collateral at a safe level so you never default - Borrow stablecoins - Put the stablecoin to work on some farming - Any stablecoin earned above the debt (i.e. gains) are sold for the vault asset and returned to the vault. - Can't I just do all this myself though? - Yes you could, but vaults help you save on gas, keep it at a good collateral/debt ratio so you dont default, and auto optimizes for highest yielding stablecoin strategies, even when you are sleeping. - Risks - While the assets deposited can't decrease, the debt of the vault can. If a strategy does not manage to outperform the debt, then a portion of the asset will be impermanently locked. If a strategy then outperforms the debt again, this asset will become unlocked. - There are mechainsims in the vaults to help this not to happen, but nothing is foolproof - As of now, the Vaults have not been audited - Smart contract risk with any contracts that the vaults interact with. - Currently Active Vaults - aLink - is the yield the same as ChainLink Vault? - maybe? - why is the yield number different for the two link vaults on [stats.finance/yearn](https://stats.finance/yearn) - [aLink has a 0.5% insurance fee](https://twitter.com/iearnfinance/status/1293772592004976641) - ChainLink - DAI - TUSD - USD Coin - USDT - y.Curve.fi - If the current strategy for the ycrv vault is farming crv does it just get added to my balance when I withdrawal? - No. The vault will farm crv then sell it on the market automatically. When you withdrawal you will get more ycrv. - Why isn't yCRV worth $1, it's a stable coin right? - No, yCRV is not worth $1 and no it is NOT a stablecoin. You can think of yCRV as an index of yield bearing stablecoins (yDAI+yUSDC+yUSDT+yTUSD) that also generates yield (trading fees from the Curve Y pool) as well. Therefore the price of yCRV is always increasing. - If I unstake my yCRV from the yCRV vault does that then revert it back to the Curve Y pool at Curve, or do I have to do something else like restake it there? - When you withdrawal your yCRV from the vault, you get back yCRV + plus interest accured - fees, all in yCRV. Since it is the yCRV token you got back, it is already staked in the yCRV pool making stablecoin swap fees. No need to do anything else with curve, unless you want to stake it [here](https://dao.curve.fi/minter/gauges) to generate CRV. - Strategies - What is a yEarn strategy? - A yEarn strategy is changeable code for each vault that tells it what assets to borrow, which coins to farm, and where it should sell the farmed assets. - What are the current strategies? - You can view the current strategies implimented at [feel-the-yearn](https://feel-the-yearn.vercel.app/) - In the future we plan to make a dashboard to make the strategies and APY easy to understand. - Who is in control of the strategies? - Andre writes them but the multisig decides if they will be implemented or not. - How can I make a strategy? - For now you can post your strategy on the forum in the strategy section. Detailing what it should buy/sell/farm and what the current apy is. There will be a template to help you get started. - What is the process for getting my strategy onto yearn? - Post it on the forum and if it gets approved it will be used in the vaults and you can get paid for it. - When does a strategy changes and who changes it? Is it automatic? - For now Andre watches the markets and writes stratgies that he and the multisig thinks are safe while giving the highest yield. They change them according to current yields on the market. - I deposited into a vault what will I get out when I withdrawal? - You will always withdrawal only the coin type you put in + the pool yield - fees. - Fees - The fee on all vaults is 0.5% on withdrawals and a 5% fee whenever the harvest() function is called on the vaults which helps subsidize gas costs. The harvest function does the selling of the farmed asset on the market. - Fees can be changed by governance. - If you deposit and withdraw immediately, you will lose 0.5% of your principle - [APR](https://yearn.finance/apr) - What is this even for? - This shows you the current APR for a given amount of a coin across lending platforms, and the highest one for each coin is the provider that Earn is lending its coins to at the moment. - This will show you the best lending rates and will tell you what provider Earn is lending these coins to at the moment. - Andre & Leadership - - Is Andre in charge of yearn? - Andre isn't in charge of Yearn, the YFI token holders make the decisions on what to build and governance decisions, but Andre is the lead developer of the yearn ecosystem. - What does Andre do? - Andre is the main developer building out the products that comprise the yearn ecosystem: yEarn, yTrade, ySwap, yLiquidate, yBorrow. He is also currently in charge of running the Vaults and overseeing them. - What is the multi-sig and what do they do? - The multi-signature address is explained in detail in this [thread](https://gov.yearn.finance/t/yfi-minting-ownership/155). Basically it is a 6 of 9 multi-signature account that has control over minting YFI, if a vote to mint tokens has passed succesfully. - Who are the 9 multisig signers? - [Calvin Liu](https://twitter.com/cjliu49/status/1285439553180798976?s=21) - [Coopahtroopa](https://twitter.com/Cooopahtroopa/status/1285438650550038529) - [Cp0x.com](https://twitter.com/kaplansky1/status/1285427247286046725) - [Curve.fi](https://twitter.com/CurveFinance/status/1285428322986389504) - [Damir Bandalo](https://twitter.com/damirbandalo/status/1285500362015875073?s=20) - [Daryllautk](https://twitter.com/Daryllautk/status/1285434908383444992) - [Devops199fan](https://twitter.com/devops199fan/status/1285430347954622464) - [Banteg](https://twitter.com/bantg/status/1285426492906909696) - [Milkyklim](https://milkyklim.keybase.pub/yearn-social-proof.txt) - What decisions can Andre make on his own? - Andre can build out the Yearn ecosystem and come up with new products. Usually he posts his thoughts and ideas on the [forum](https://gov.yearn.finance/) for everyone to see. - Does the multi-sig group tell him what to do? - They are in close contact with one another, but Andre's priorities are decided by YFI token holders via YIPS. - Who else writes code for yearn? Is there a team? - Does anyone get paid for working on yearn? - As of this moment, not yet, but thanks to the passage of [YIP 36](https://yips.yearn.finance/YIPS/yip-36) and the creation of a community pool of funds that will be kept at 500k usd, we can now pay Andre for his work, fund audits, and pay for new devs to be hired along with anything else the the yearn ecosystem needs. - How can I work for yearn? - You can make a YIP to apply for funding from the 500k USD treasury directly or ask the yDAO for funding. - Do you have any job openings? - Yes, we do! We need all kinds of people to help make the yEarn ecosystem a thriving product and to give value to YFI. You can ask in the Discord or Telegram about applying or post on the forum. State how you think you can add value to yEarn, and how much you think you should be paid from the community pool. Also, you can go to the [yDAO](https://gov.yearn.finance/t/ydao-for-community-funding/2243) as well for funding on your work for the Yearn ecosystem. - How to participate - - You can participate in YFI by voting on YIPs that are active, discussing the YIPs yet to be proposed on-chain on the forums, and talking about YFI in the telegram and discord. If you know a second language help us translate the site and YIPs into that language. - Ongoing efforts to improve the Yearn ecosystem - - You can view the active YIPs [here](https://yips.yearn.finance/all-yip) - Yield - - We plan to make a dashboard in the future that will clearly show your current APY of all the positions you have open. Currently for the Vaults as they are still in beta we are not showing the APY live, but it is post on [twitter](https://twitter.com/iearnfinance) around once a day. You can roughly estimate the yeild you are getting by looking at what the [current strategy](https://feel-the-yearn.vercel.app/) is farming and checking what its apy is. - For example if ycrv vault is farming the crv token, you can check what the yeild is on [curve's homepage](https://www.curve.fi/) for the y pool - YFI - - YFI is the governance token of the yearn ecosystem and where the fees from the system accure to. - Fees - - There are fees. These are explained above. - User Interface - - Can I use the yEarn ecosystem dApps on my phone? - Yes, you have to use the Metamask browser - Related Projects - - [Curve](https://www.curve.fi/) - Curve is an exchange liquidity pool on Ethereum (like [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/)) designed for (1) extremely efficient stablecoin trading (2) low risk, supplemental fee income for liquidity providers, without an opportunity cost. Curve allows users (and smart contracts like 1inch, Paraswap, Totle and Dex.ag) to trade between DAI and USDC with a bespoke low slippage, low fee algorithm designed specifically for stablecoins and earn fees. Behind the scenes, the liquidity pool is also supplied to the Compound protocol or iearn.finance where it generates even more income for liquidity providers. - Curve [FAQ](https://www.curve.fi/rootfaq) - What are yCRV and the y curve pools and why are they on curve.fi and not yearn.finance? - [Aave](https://app.aave.com/home) - Aave is an open source and non-custodial protocol enabling the creation of money markets. Users can earn interest on deposits and borrow assets. - Learning - - Where can I learn more about yearn? - [Learn Yearn](https://www.learnyearn.finance/) - Latest Yearn News - - [yearn.finance - Offical Twitter of Yearn](https://twitter.com/iearnfinance) - [AndreCronjeTech](https://twitter.com/AndreCronjeTech) - [Yearn Finance - Offical Blog](https://medium.com/iearn) - Media resources - - Podcasts - [Andre Cronje and the Philosophy of Yearn Finance](https://anchor.fm/hasu-research/episodes/6-Andre-Cronje-and-the-Philosophy-of-Yearn-Finance-ei4vds) - [The FTX Podcast - Andre Cronje DeFI Architect](https://open.spotify.com/episode/6d14TJtQU7eB69azelpdeh) - [Zapper Community Call - With Andre](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=venoiaiVZ-U) - [In DeFi My Money is Actually Mine.
